One UI 8 will unlock Now Bar's full potential with Android 16’s best feature
Now Bar will integrate with Live Updates
Now Bar is one of Samsung's biggest additions to One UI 7. It surfaces relevant information, Google Maps navigation directions, sports scores, and more on the lock screen, status bar, and notification shade. However, in its current form, Now Bar sounds more useful on paper than in daily life. Thankfully, One UI 8 will solve this by integrating Now Bar with Live Updates, one of Android 16's most significant enhancements.
